2015-09-23Fix AF_PACKET ABI breakage in 4.2David Woodhouse
Commit 7d82410950aa ("virtio: add explicit big-endian support to memory accessors") accidentally changed the virtio_net header used by AF_PACKET with PACKET_VNET_HDR from host-endian to big-endian. Since virtio_legacy_is_little_endian() is a very long identifier, define a vio_le macro and use that throughout the code instead of the hard-coded 'false' for little-endian. This restores the ABI to match 4.1 and earlier kernels, and makes my test program work again. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-08-17packet: add classic BPF fanout modeWillem de Bruijn
Add fanout mode PACKET_FANOUT_CBPF that accepts a classic BPF program to select a socket. This avoids having to keep adding special case fanout modes. One example use case is application layer load balancing. The QUIC protocol, for instance, encodes a connection ID in UDP payload. Also add socket option SOL_PACKET/PACKET_FANOUT_DATA that updates data associated with the socket group. Fanout mode PACKET_FANOUT_CBPF is the only user so far.

When binding a PF_PACKET socket, the use count of the bound interface is always increased with dev_hold in dev_get_by_{index,name}. However, when rebound with the same protocol and device as in the previous bind the use count of the interface was not decreased. Ultimately, this caused the deletion of the interface to fail with the following message: unregister_netdevice: waiting for dummy0 to become free.

2015-05-17net-packet: fix null pointer exception in rollover modeWillem de Bruijn
Rollover can be enabled as flag or mode. Allocate state in both cases. This solves a NULL pointer exception in fanout_demux_rollover on referencing po->rollover if using mode rollover. Also make sure that in rollover mode each silo is tried (contrary to rollover flag, where the main socket is excluded after an initial try_self). Tested: Passes tools/testing/net/psock_fanout.c, which tests both modes and flag. My previous tests were limited to bench_rollover, which only stresses the flag. The test now completes safely. it still gives an error for mode rollover, because it does not expect the new headroom (ROOM_NORMAL) requirement. I will send a separate patch to the test.

2015-05-13packet: rollover huge flows before small flowsWillem de Bruijn
Migrate flows from a socket to another socket in the fanout group not only when the socket is full. Start migrating huge flows early, to divert possible 4-tuple attacks without affecting normal traffic. Introduce fanout_flow_is_huge(). This detects huge flows, which are defined as taking up more than half the load. It does so cheaply, by storing the rxhashes of the N most recent packets. If over half of these are the same rxhash as the current packet, then drop it. This only protects against 4-tuple attacks. N is chosen to fit all data in a single cache line. Tested: Ran bench_rollover for 10 sec with 1.5 Mpps of single flow input. lpbb5:/export/hda3/willemb# ./bench_rollover -l 1000 -r -s cpu rx rx.k drop.k rollover r.huge r.failed 0 14 14 0 0 0 0 1 20 20 0 0 0 0 2 16 16 0 0 0 0 3 6168824 6168824 0 4867721 4867721 0 4 4867741 4867741 0 0 0 0 5 12 12 0 0 0 0 6 15 15 0 0 0 0 7 17 17 0 0 0 0 Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-05-13packet: rollover lock contention avoidanceWillem de Bruijn
Rollover has to call packet_rcv_has_room on sockets in the fanout group to find a socket to migrate to. This operation is expensive especially if the packet sockets use rings, when a lock has to be acquired. Avoid pounding on the lock by all sockets by temporarily marking a socket as "under memory pressure" when such pressure is detected. While set, only the socket owner may call packet_rcv_has_room on the socket. Once it detects normal conditions, it clears the flag. The socket is not used as a victim by any other socket in the meantime. Under reasonably balanced load, each socket writer frequently calls packet_rcv_has_room and clears its own pressure field. As a backup for when the socket is rarely written to, also clear the flag on reading (packet_recvmsg, packet_poll) if this can be done cheaply (i.e., without calling packet_rcv_has_room). This is only for edge cases. Tested: Ran bench_rollover: a process with 8 sockets in a single fanout group, each pinned to a single cpu that receives one nic recv interrupt. RPS and RFS are disabled. The benchmark uses packet rx_ring, which has to take a lock when determining whether a socket has room. Sent 3.5 Mpps of UDP traffic with sufficient entropy to spread uniformly across the packet sockets (and inserted an iptables rule to drop in PREROUTING to avoid protocol stack processing). Without this patch, all sockets try to migrate traffic to neighbors, causing lock contention when searching for a non- empty neighbor. The lock is the top 9 entries. perf record -a -g sleep 5 - 17.82% bench_rollover [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock - _raw_spin_lock - 99.00% spin_lock + 81.77% packet_rcv_has_room.isra.41 + 18.23% tpacket_rcv + 0.84% packet_rcv_has_room.isra.41 + 5.20% ksoftirqd/6 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock + 5.15% ksoftirqd/1 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock + 5.14% ksoftirqd/2 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock + 5.12% ksoftirqd/7 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock + 5.12% ksoftirqd/5 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock + 5.10% ksoftirqd/4 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock + 4.66% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock + 4.45% ksoftirqd/3 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock + 1.55% bench_rollover [kernel.kallsyms] [k] packet_rcv_has_room.isra.41 On net-next with this patch, this lock contention is no longer a top entry.

2015-05-13packet: rollover only to socket with headroomWillem de Bruijn
Only migrate flows to sockets that have sufficient headroom, where sufficient is defined as having at least 25% empty space. The kernel has three different buffer types: a regular socket, a ring with frames (TPACKET_V[12]) or a ring with blocks (TPACKET_V3). The latter two do not expose a read pointer to the kernel, so headroom is not computed easily. All three needs a different implementation to estimate free space. Tested: Ran bench_rollover for 10 sec with 1.5 Mpps of single flow input. bench_rollover has as many sockets as there are NIC receive queues in the system. Each socket is owned by a process that is pinned to one of the receive cpus. RFS is disabled. RPS is enabled with an identity mapping (cpu x -> cpu x), to count drops with softnettop. lpbb5:/export/hda3/willemb# ./bench_rollover -r -l 1000 -s Press [Enter] to exit cpu rx rx.k drop.k rollover r.huge r.failed 0 16 16 0 0 0 0 1 21 21 0 0 0 0 2 5227502 5227502 0 0 0 0 3 18 18 0 0 0 0 4 6083289 6083289 0 5227496 0 0 5 22 22 0 0 0 0 6 21 21 0 0 0 0 7 9 9 0 0 0 0 Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-03-09net: delete stale packet_mclist entriesFrancesco Ruggeri
When an interface is deleted from a net namespace the ifindex in the corresponding entries in PF_PACKET sockets' mclists becomes stale. This can create inconsistencies if later an interface with the same ifindex is moved from a different namespace (not that unlikely since ifindexes are per-namespace). In particular we saw problems with dev->promiscuity, resulting in "promiscuity touches roof, set promiscuity failed. promiscuity feature of device might be broken" warnings and EOVERFLOW failures of setsockopt(PACKET_ADD_MEMBERSHIP). This patch deletes the mclist entries for interfaces that are deleted.

2015-01-18netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() voidJohannes Berg
Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb. This makes the very common pattern of if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... } be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do return nlmsg_end(...); and the caller is expected to deal with it. This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very common to write if (my_function(...)) /* error condition */ and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong. Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there. Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did - return nlmsg_end(...); + nlmsg_end(...); + return 0; I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more efficient version. One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time. I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

2015-01-11packet: bail out of packet_snd() if L2 header creation failsChristoph Jaeger
Due to a misplaced parenthesis, the expression (unlikely(offset) < 0), which expands to (__builtin_expect(!!(offset), 0) < 0), never evaluates to true. Therefore, when sending packets with PF_PACKET/SOCK_DGRAM, packet_snd() does not abort as intended if the creation of the layer 2 header fails. Spotted by Coverity - CID 1259975 ("Operands don't affect result").

2014-12-22packet: Fixed TPACKET V3 to signal poll when block is closed rather than ↵Dan Collins
every packet Make TPACKET_V3 signal poll when block is closed rather than for every packet. Side effect is that poll will be signaled when block retire timer expires which didn't previously happen. Issue was visible when sending packets at a very low frequency such that all blocks are retired before packets are received by TPACKET_V3. This caused avoidable packet loss. The fix ensures that the signal is sent when blocks are closed which covers the normal path where the block is filled as well as the path where the timer expires. The case where a block is filled without moving to the next block (ie. all blocks are full) will still cause poll to be signaled.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) New offloading infrastructure and example 'rocker' driver for offloading of switching and routing to hardware. This work was done by a large group of dedicated individuals, not limited to: Scott Feldman, Jiri Pirko, Thomas Graf, John Fastabend, Jamal Hadi Salim, Andy Gospodarek, Florian Fainelli, Roopa Prabhu 2) Start making the networking operate on IOV iterators instead of modifying iov objects in-situ during transfers. Thanks to Al Viro and Herbert Xu. 3) A set of new netlink interfaces for the TIPC stack, from Richard Alpe. 4) Remove unnecessary looping during ipv6 routing lookups, from Martin KaFai Lau. 5) Add PAUSE frame generation support to gianfar driver, from Matei Pavaluca. 6) Allow for larger reordering levels in TCP, which are easily achievable in the real world right now, from Eric Dumazet. 7) Add a variable of napi_schedule that doesn't need to disable cpu interrupts, from Eric Dumazet. 8) Use a doubly linked list to optimize neigh_parms_release(), from Nicolas Dichtel. 9) Various enhancements to the kernel BPF verifier, and allow eBPF programs to actually be attached to sockets. From Alexei Starovoitov. 10) Support TSO/LSO in sunvnet driver, from David L Stevens. 11) Allow controlling ECN usage via routing metrics, from Florian Westphal. 12) Remote checksum offload, from Tom Herbert. 13) Add split-header receive, BQL, and xmit_more support to amd-xgbe driver, from Thomas Lendacky. 14) Add MPLS support to openvswitch, from Simon Horman. 15) Support wildcard tunnel endpoints in ipv6 tunnels, from Steffen Klassert. 16) Do gro flushes on a per-device basis using a timer, from Eric Dumazet. This tries to resolve the conflicting goals between the desired handling of bulk vs. RPC-like traffic. 17) Allow userspace to ask for the CPU upon what a packet was received/steered, via SO_INCOMING_CPU. From Eric Dumazet. 18) Limit GSO packets to half the current congestion window, from Eric Dumazet. 19) Add a generic helper so that all drivers set their RSS keys in a consistent way, from Eric Dumazet. 20) Add xmit_more support to enic driver, from Govindarajulu Varadarajan. 21) Add VLAN packet scheduler action, from Jiri Pirko. 22) Support configurable RSS hash functions via ethtool, from Eyal Perry. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1820 commits) Fix race condition between vxlan_sock_add and vxlan_sock_release net/macb: fix compilation warning for print_hex_dump() called with skb->mac_header net/mlx4: Add support for A0 steering net/mlx4: Refactor QUERY_PORT net/mlx4_core: Add explicit error message when rule doesn't meet configuration net/mlx4: Add A0 hybrid steering net/mlx4: Add mlx4_bitmap zone allocator net/mlx4: Add a check if there are too many reserved QPs net/mlx4: Change QP allocation scheme net/mlx4_core: Use tasklet for user-space CQ completion events net/mlx4_core: Mask out host side virtualization features for guests net/mlx4_en: Set csum level for encapsulated packets be2net: Export tunnel offloads only when a VxLAN tunnel is created gianfar: Fix dma check map error when DMA_API_DEBUG is enabled cxgb4/csiostor: Don't use MASTER_MUST for fw_hello call net: fec: only enable mdio interrupt before phy device link up net: fec: clear all interrupt events to support i.MX6SX net: fec: reset fep link status in suspend function net: sock: fix access via invalid file descriptor net: introduce helper macro for_each_cmsghdr ...

When sending packets out with PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, ensure that the packet is at least as long as the device's expected link layer header. This check already exists in tpacket_snd, but not in packet_snd. Also rate limit the warning in tpacket_snd.
